[QUOTE="MNbogboy, post: 1869058, member: 18849"] Woof ta! There is not one thing I do the same as 50+ years ago. The only piece of equipment the same is a 48 year old Herter's press, a 50 year old Redding case trimmer with (new style titanium cutter), a 45 year old bonanza model C scale....oh yah a few sets of RCBS and Herter's dies. Pull the handle different now. Prepare brass totally different. Weight & volume sort brass. Weigh charges to the kernel now. Anneal every cycle. Buy quality bullets over price (to a point) Use several chronos Extensive seating & charge testing. Shoot 2000 to 5000 rounds a year during load development on many rifles. 20 rounds and 1 hour on the range = 3 or 4 hours at the reloading bench. In all these pencil barrel hunting rifles I look for 1/2 to 3/4 moa from factory button barrels and 1/4 to 1/2 from after market lapped barrels. In comparison 50 years ago I was satisfied with 1 to 2 minute deer rifles. Of coarse the 4 power or 3-9 scopes may have limited me somewhat....now it's my cataracts!.....LOL [/QUOTE]
